This week (or the week I began writing this) in my school was Spirit Week! However, my grade especially is filled with potheads, therefore, about half of our grade doesn't care. To make things more fun, I decided to write this story, mostly to amuse myself, but also for the amusement of others : ) I don't know if they'd ever really get into something like Spirit Week (except for Tama-chan…and maybe the twins…), but oh well. Many things in here are gonna be based on real events, because I wrote a lot of this while events were going on, and took notes. Also, I'm poor. I'm not rich, and will probably never be rich, so I don't really know how rich people work, so bear with me on that. As a side note, instead of saying "grade", I'm gonna say "year", because I think that's how it is in Japan…right? Well I'm just doing that. Oh, and one more thing before we get started. Whenever the twins speak at the same time, that line will be bolded, because it sounds different from one person speaking. So yeahh… With all of that being said, let's get on with the story : )
Prologue Friday; The Week BeforeThere were several times when Haruhi wished she could've just kept her mouth shut. She usually didn't say stupid things, or things that someone else could turn into a joke, and she made sure to be extra careful in front of the Host Club. Maybe it was because she was tired from staying up late the previous night to study for that test. Maybe it was because of the phone call she got the other day from her old friend, letting her know what was going on in their old school; what was starting next week. Whatever it was, she slipped up.
"Spirit Week?"
"Haruhi, what is this 'Spirit Week'?"
"O-oh…it's nothing. You know, some silly commoner's thing," Haruhi said, trying to escape Tamaki's curiosity.
"It doesn't sound like nothing," Kaoru started, coming up behind her.
"And we want to know what it is," Hikaru finished, standing behind Haruhi on the other side of his brother.
"No, it's just something stupid. Just forget I said anything," she tried again to lose their attention.
"It sounds like a week of Halloween."
"Do you get spirits to fly around?"
"Is there candy?" (obviously, this was Hunny speaking).
There was no escaping now. They were all bombarding her with questions about spirits and candy and costumes and-
"Alright, I give up! I'll tell you, just please be quiet!" Immediately, the room was filled with silence, and Haruhi sighed. She already knew what the outcome of all of this would be, and there was no stopping it now. "Spirit Week is…well, in the 'commoner's' schools, for one week, there's a theme, such as movies, and each year chooses something that has to do with that theme."
"So if the overall theme was movies, as you said, each year would choose a different movie, such as Akira or Train Man, for their own sub-theme, correct?" Kyoya verified.
"Right," Haruhi agreed.
"Where's the fun in that?" the twins asked.
"If you'd let me finish, I was just about to get to that. Each day, there are events that go on during the day, such as dressing up based on your sub-theme or wearing your grade's colors, at the end of the day, meaning that classes are shortened a bit, and those events are a Quiz Bowl and having a band from each year perform, and then events at night, such as volleyball, pin-guard and a dance performed by each class. Everything's a competition, so by the end of the week, the year with the most points wins."
"What do they win?" Hunny asked.
"Um…well nothing, really."
"We could set up a trip somewhere for whichever year wins," the twins suggested.
"Then it's decided!" Tamaki proclaimed, "We shall hold this 'Commoner's Spirit Week' next week!"
"B-but you'd need much more time to set everything up! You'd need the teachers and staff to agree, and the students as well. And it's Friday! There's no way you can get everything ready over the weekend!" Haruhi exclaimed.
"Just leave everything to us! Everything will be ready to go by Monday; we'll pick the themes and my father will help us get everything else ready. All you have to do is write down everything that we do during this 'Commoner's Spirit Week'," Tamaki told her.
Haruhi had no choice but to oblige. She feared that if she refused, he'd be in his Corner of Woe for a week or more, and she would be forced to comply anyway.
"Oh, Haruhi, isn't this great!? We're going to have so much fun!" Tamaki exclaimed, hugging Haruhi tightly to his chest.
Haruhi looked around the room to see the mischievous glint in the twins' eyes, the way Hunny was even more hyper than usual, the way the light shone off of Kyoya's glasses, and the way Mori…well, he was the same as always.
Oh, god, she thought, What have I gotten myself into?
Ok, I know this is a short chapter, but it'll get better, I swear…But before I can continue writing, I need to know what the over all them should be: seasons, environments, countries, or one that you've thought of? Also, you can state which things you want to be the sub-themes; for example, if you want it to be seasons, you can say to use summer, fall and winter, or something. Please let me know what I should use!!! Even if you don't like it so far, just review so I know which theme to choose. Thanks!!!
